- Chris Mirabile, at 39 years old, boasts a “biological age” of 26.
- One factor he attributes to his youthful state is his commitment to a nutritious diet, which includes a daily protein smoothie.
- Mirabile has graciously shared his protein smoothie recipe with Insider.
Chris Mirabile is dedicated to maintaining a youthful lifestyle.
Following a life-threatening seizure caused by a brain tumor when he was 16, Mirabile committed himself to healthy aging and went on to establish Novos, a company specializing in longevity supplements.
Currently 39 years old, Mirabile claims to have a “biological age” of 26, effectively slowing down his aging process by 37%. While the concept of differing biological and chronological ages is gaining recognition, accurately determining one’s biological age remains debatable.
According to Mirabile, his “biological” age of 26 is attributed to several factors, including regular strength training, cardio exercises, sufficient sleep, and a balanced diet.
Despite focusing on maintaining a healthy diet, Mirabile acknowledges the importance of enjoying life’s pleasures. He allows himself indulgences like a plate of pasta on the weekends or a celebratory glass of wine.
However, Mirabile practices intermittent fasting and primarily consumes nutritious, whole foods for the majority of his meals.
Mirabile’s Daily Protein Smoothie
Each morning, Mirabile prepares a post-workout smoothie containing the following ingredients:
- Non-dairy milk, such as hemp or coconut milk
- Vegan protein powder made from a blend of pea and hemp protein
- Mushroom powder mix
- Spirulina
- Chlorella
- Carrot
- Celery
- Strawberry or peach non-dairy kefir
Mirabile admits that the smoothie may not sound particularly appetizing, but the addition of fruity kefir provides a touch of sweetness and probiotics for taste and digestive health.
Mirabile prefers dairy-free products due to his belief that cow’s milk accelerates the aging process, although this claim is yet to be scientifically proven.
Additionally, he deliberately selects a vegan protein powder that combines various plant-based protein sources to ensure a complete amino acid profile for optimal muscle repair after workouts.
Vegans sometimes need to combine different foods to obtain “complete” proteins, meaning they provide all nine essential amino acids. This can be achieved by pairing rice with beans or chickpeas with couscous, among other combinations.
Mirabile’s mushroom powder mixture includes maitake, lion’s mane, cordyceps, reishi, shiitake, turkey tail, and chaga. Some studies suggest that mushrooms like lion’s mane have potential benefits for digestive health, metabolism, and cognition, although further research is necessary.
Correction: August 11, 2023 – An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated Chris Mirabile’s age. He claims to have a “biological age” of 26, not 27.
